This recipe is something I did at the beginning of December for some friends and never got around to posting. It's super easy and it came from everywhere. Apparently most people know about it. I just asked someone how she made these delicious treats and she gave me the ingredients and I kinda figured the rest out on my own.
Oreo and Cream Cheese Balls
(They taste like chocolate covered cookie dough to me!!)
1 package of Oreos (or store brand) (DO NOT use double stuffed! The extra cream filling will mess up the consistency.)1 8oz. block of cream cheese
About 10oz. chocolate for dipping (I didn't know how much chocolate to use and ended up with a ton extra so I rummaged through my cabinets and dipped a bunch of other stuff in chocolate too! Why waste it?!)
*Also, from the photographs you can see that I did 2 batches, one with vanilla Oreos and white chocolate and one with chocolate Oreos and milk chocolate.
In a blender or food processor, grind up entire package of Oreos into crumbs. Mix with the whole block of softened cream cheese. (This makes a ton if you're doing both flavors! I actually did just half a bag of vanilla and half a bag of chocolate Oreos.) Scoop 1/2 Tbsps of mixture and make into balls. Place on wax paper lined cookie sheet. Put in the fridge for at least 3 hours. An hour and a half or 2 in the freezer can work too. Dip in melted chocolate and return to lined cookie sheets. My house was really hot that day so I had to put them back in the fridge after dipping in chocolate. I have no idea whether you'll need to do this or not. I couldn't hurt though, to help seal it and firm up the chocolate quickly.
I just put a few balls in the corner of a ziploc bag and tied a ribbon around it, then cut off the excess bag.These make great little basket fillers. Use any ribbon and even add food coloring to the white chocolate to convert to any holiday!

aww, man, I hate that I wasn't one of the friends receiving this.
I can't wait to make these!!! They look so delicious!
Ok, so I decided to make these for a superbowl thing that we went to last Sunday and they were a huge hit!!! They're so super yummy and really easy! We had quite a few left over after the party so I decided to put them in the freezer because I thought they'd be good that way. I was right! They taste like cookies and cream ice cream balls. YUM!!! Thanks a million for this recipe! Keep 'em coming!

That sounds sooooo good! I want to make some, but we have to sizes for packs of Oreo cookies here, would you be able to tell me how many cookies goes in the recipe so I don't mess it up :) Thank you sooo much!
I'll have to check next time I'm at the store. But I know the pack I use has 3 rows of Oreos that are about 9 inches long. I'll try to remember to check for the amount of cookies next time I'm at the store though.
Thank you so much!!
